I just came across a video on social media claiming that this person’s father and mother lived in “communist Poland” and that their lives were awful. They claimed the government took their parents’ land and that they were incredibly poor. The father was apparently jailed and the mother fled to Italy. After doing some digging it was clear (the person outright said it) that their family was part of the Solidarity movement in Poland. What does this mean? I want to take the time to refute this in the comments because nobody else seems to be doing it. I know it may be a waste of time, but hey, it’s late and I’ve got nothing to do. How do I respond?
Edit: Just did a quick Google search and found out they received 2 million a year from the CIA. Genuinely laughed out loud.

Shock Doctrine also has a section on this. Bascically Jeff Sachs shows up and sells out their dream of higher living standards and political representation for neo-lib austerity.
